Chelsea Handler Breaking News, Photos, and Videos

Chelsea Handler is returning to stand up after years away from the comedy artform!

She just booked her first special since Netflix‘s Uganda Be Kidding Me: Live in 2014.

This time, she’ll perform a special for HBO Max and will feature new and original material. She’ll specifically discuss “family, friendships and her first foray into therapy and reflections on her journey toward self-awareness with the help of her reliable companion, cannabis.”

In a statement to THR, Chelsea said, “I didn’t want to return to stand-up until I had something important to say. I do now. I’m absolutely delighted to be doing this with HBO Max and always excited to be reunited with Bob Greenblatt. One of the only executives I can never have sex with.”

In the episode, taped on Wednesday (March 11), the 49-year-old Will & Grace star plays a game called “Chelsea Blanking Handler,” in which Chelsea has to fill in the blanks of revealing sentences.

Among her revelations are the last celebrity who slid into her DMs, and the craziest place she’s had sex, which is “outside a cemetery.”

“In my defense, I was at a funeral. I wasn’t at a funeral… yes I was,” Chelsea admits with a laugh. “Something happened in a cemetery, I don’t know if it was full throttle, but yes, something definitely went down there. That’s the first thing I thought of so yes I think so.”

Chelsea Handler also talks about her appearance on Sean‘s show Will & Grace, in which she played one-half of a lesbian couple with her real-life best friend, Mary McCormack.

EMILY’s List — the nation’s largest resource for women in politics — kicked off Oscars week by bringing together powerful women across entertainment and politics for a candid, high-level conversation about women raising their voices and resisting the cultural forces that threaten to hold them back.

No details about Chuy‘s death have been revealed yet, but he reportedly died “suddenly” on Saturday night (December 14) while in Mexico City.

“I loved this nugget in a big way, and I took great pleasure in how many people loved him as much as I did and do. @chuybravo gave us so much laughter and I’ll never forget the sound of his laughter coming from his office into mine. Or his ‘business calls’ with his ‘business manager,’ or his shoe rack with all his children-sized shoes,” Chelsea wrote on Instagram.

Chelsea also told a story about what happened when Chuy came to visit her family for Christmas one year.

“I’ll never forget him coming to Christmas with my family one year in the Florida keys, and when my niece who was 5 or 6 at the time—saw him, she ran in the other direction saying she was scared,” she said. “My sister and I were mortified and were apologizing to Chuy, who told us, ‘it’s ok, lots of little kids get scared when they see big kids coming their way.’ I love you, Chuy!
